i would very much welcome this transfer, i first seen him play against us in the champions league a few years ago and thought he had some talent. i was in turkey in april and spoke the turkish barman at our hotel who was a football addict, he was a man u / besiktas supporter and regarded arda as arguably the best player in the league. he is also captain of galatasaray and was voted the most popular european footballer of last year.
to me he seems like the type of player with bags of ability and can create that little spark of magic out of nowhere. wether he would be able to cut it in the premiership is another story but we've gambled on worse in the past (el hadj diouf comes to mind).
i think he'd take some time adjusting to life in the prem, but he has a passion for our club and there arent many players of his stature knocking on our door right now. go and get him!!!
